Use cucumber varieties suited for vertical growing
Plant seeds or seedlings near the base of the trellis
Space plants according to the variety’s needs
Water deeply and consistently at the soil level
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and reduce weeds
Train young vines onto the trellis as they grow
Tie vines loosely with soft plant ties if needed
Remove damaged or overcrowded leaves as needed
Check regularly for pests and disease
Harvest cucumbers often to encourage more production
